good for older kids

My first-grader liked to read, but she didn't have time to read these cute stories in her very short (25 min) lunch period. I saved them and I'm going to try again this year when she is in 3rd grade and a stronger reader. I love the idea! And the stories are just the sort of wacky adventures that elementary kids like.

Great for parents who travel

My husband and I travel together on business and are sometimes away from our girls for a week at a time. I make an envelope for each child for each day we'll be gone and put a couple of pages of these stories inside each envelope. Our girls are very enthusiastic about reading the fun stories and knowing that when the story is finished, mom and dad will be home. The stories are a bit suspenseful and possibly even frightening for young children. They are probably most appropriate for 7-12 year olds, depending on reading skill level for 7 year-olds. I wish that there were more than the two volumes that currently exist!

Tasty little book....

I loved this book! It was so intruiging I couldn`t put it down, so instead of reading a page of it every day at lunch, I read it like a regular book, tons at a time! I highly recommend this book for people of all ages.
